Differentiation of SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells using retinoic acid and BDNF: A model for neuronal and synaptic differentiation in neurodegeneration (2024)
Journal Article
Targett, I. L., Crompton, L. A., Conway, M. E., & Craig, T. J. (in press). Differentiation of SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells using retinoic acid and BDNF: A model for neuronal and synaptic differentiation in neurodegeneration. In Vitro Cellular and Developmental Biology - Animal,

There has been much interest in the use of cell culture models of neurones, to avoid the animal welfare and cost issues of using primary and human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived neurones respectively. The human neuroblastoma cell line,...

Supporting families to adjust following a dementia diagnosis: Adapting the LivDem intervention (2023)
Presentation / Conference
Woodstoke, N., Winter, B., Cheston, R., & Dodd, E. (2023, October). Supporting families to adjust following a dementia diagnosis: Adapting the LivDem intervention. Presented at The 33rd Alzheimer Europe Conference, Helsinki

“Everyone says that thinking about death is unthinkable. But I think dementia is a bit unthinkable too. How can you think about losing your mind?”​ ​ A reflexive thematic analysis of adapting the LivDem model of talking about dementia for couples a...
